Chopper crash in Rio flashpoint with police in ‘City of God’
RIO DE JANEIRO — Viviane Goncalves cries softly as she explains why she believes her husband was killed.
The 32-year-old widow says she thinks military police shot him in revenge after one of their helicopters crashed Nov. 19 while helping an anti-drug operation near the City of God slum where the couple lived, killing all four officers on board.
Goncalves said her bricklayer husband Rogerio Alberto de Carvalho had nothing to do with it.
